What are Mapping Sets?

Mapping sets are tools that allow you to replace incoming data values with desired output values. By applying them in mapping templates, you can translate data from external sources into a format that works best for your system.

How Do Mapping Sets Work?

Mapping sets operate through a simple two-column structure:

• Convert From Value: The incoming data value to be changed.
• To Value: The desired output value.

They’re particularly useful when categorizing products into FLX's three-tier category system (Category 1, 2, 3), ensuring consistency and accuracy.

File Upload for Individual Categories

• For each category (Category 1, 2, or 3), upload a separate file to manage mappings.
• Files uploaded to disabled categories will not be migrated. These files will be discarded automatically.

The AI Category Mapping feature is exclusive to the Gunbroker channel. This intelligent tool automatically maps categories without requiring manual uploads.

Important Behaviors:

1. When AI Category Mapping is enabled:
   • All uploaded files and mapping sets are overridden.
   • Mapping is handled exclusively by the AI tool.
2. If you switch back to mapping sets:
   • Previously uploaded files remain intact.
   • The system resumes using these files for mapping upon saving.
